Mr. Sixer

Having had experience with both teams recently and in the past, I am going to have to give Madison Central the edge by a score or two. MC is solid top to bottom in my opinion. Strong, and similar offenses for both, but the passing game for MC along with a better defense gets the nod. 35-24.

You are correct. Forgot about the last Conner KOR for a TD.

Congrats to Coach Chase Floyd earning his first win as a Head Coach!! Conner finally played 4 qtrs of football and got a running clock going up 35-0 in the 3rd qtr. NCC scored 2 late tds vs the JV in the 4th qtr to end the game 35-14. best of luck to both teams the rest of the year.

Not really understanding why Lloyd has not pushed this game time back to at least 7:30pm? I believe all other, or most, NKY games have been pushed back to 7:30pm and several games in Ohio are starting at 8pm. Be interested to see what the WBGT says at 7pm? Health and safety first?

Excellent breakdown!

Going to go out on a limb and say that Madison Central is going to be a semi-final team. They have all the pieces to make a deep run in the playoffs.

Had the same question. Wondering if the student staff will be doing any broadcasting on this scrum?

This is an apple and an orange comparison in my opinion. Yes, the young man, from North Carolina, is a very good player and was very talented as a freshman, but I could go find 100 players that didn't have great freshman tape and by the time they were Srs. were top players and heavily recruited. There are far too many variables to assess for this to be a valid reasoning why a FRESHMAN will or will not be a P4 player, most notably is where a player plays. Put Brandon across the river in Ohio and more than likely his recruitment will be much higher playing varsity as a freshman (see Roman Combs example who only played 1 year of varsity in KY). Brandon will be just fine and he is just now fully starting to heavily focus on football training, and that is not hearsay, that is coming directly from his father. For CCH's sake, I hope he doesn't decide to give up basketball and go 100% football focus because that WILL make a huge difference is his football development. While a mid-major offer is nothing to be ashamed of whatsoever, I think you're being pre-mature in your assessment that he won't be a P4 type player over the next 3 years if your best reasoning is some other player from a totally different region of the country who plays just outside a major metropolis and signed with UK. Let him develop and let's see what happens...you've got 3 years.

Brandon "will be" exactly where he needs to be by the time he is a Senior with several major schools coming calling. Having been around him for the past 3 summers, his growth and speed is tracking exactly where it should be at and will be exactly where it needs to be at the end of his HS career. I will predict he plays on the defensive side of the ball at the next level and yes at a P4 school without a doubt. CCH using him on offense will just be an added weapon but not from a feature standpoint IMO. Remember his is still young having just completed his freshman season BUT playing, and starting many games on varsity as a 14 year old. Coach E doesn't do that unless there is incredible talent there. I would say be patient because Brandon, now 15 years old, will be a MAJOR factor in CCH's success for the next 3 years.

I'm going to say Conner made an excellent hire in Chase Floyd. A long time assistant at various NKY schools and definitely knows the game and truly knows everything there is to know about overcoming adversity. Conner will be blessed with an extremely young but VERY talented group of players that have bought in to the new, and VERY EXPERIENCED, coaching staff. Couple these items along with the deep connection that Coach Floyd has established with the extremely talented MS team (especially the 7th, to be 8th grade team, and Youth programs, the future is bright. I know the new field house and weight room is one of the best in NKY! Wishing Coach Floyd the absolute best and hoping things keep progressing in Hebron and players, and parents, want to "stay home" and bring Conner back to glory.

Spoke to his uncle just last week and heard this was a STRONG possibility! Georgia was hot on LA’s trail also!

Scotty will do more than help the offense out. He has started all varsity games since his sophomore year, been to a 5A championship and been taught by the best OL coach IMO in NKY in Bob Burnett (who ironically was at BW for several years). Don't be fooled by his size, he will lead the BW OL with his calls and leadership and bring some additional tenacity, especially going down to a lower class where he won't see the size of players that he was seeing in 5A. Huge pick up for BW and they are getting a proven winner to go along with an already good line.

100% Spot on here Walter! I can remember talking with Sully during that time and he said he would have retired being the Holmes coach. Holmes was scorching hot back then and it would have been nice to see that train continuing down the track.

Actually memory just came back to me LOL. I was off on the timing. Sully was in the running for the job when they hiring the hot name at the time in Booher who just won the State title the year prior. Regardless, the fact remains they missed the mark as I think Sully would have been a lifer.

This would have been around the '15 season if memory serves me correct. Right after Booher left and the administration went with Listerman for a few seasons. Don't get me wrong, I love Listerman but it was a missed opportunity big time. It all worked out for Sully because 2 seasons later he was playing for the State Championship trophy in 2017, won the region again and was regional runner-up a couple times as well during that time frame. I can only imagine the talent that would have stayed at Holmes, not to mention the talent that may have strongly considered becoming a Bulldog, had Sully been selected. Just my opinion, but I would venture to say Tim would still be the coach today had he been selected instead of having 4 coaches in the last 12 years. Still, I wish Holmes nothing but the best. The region was always better when Holmes was ultra competitive like back in the day.
